IC 410 - The Tadpoles in HHO palette

Greetings, here I share an image of IC410, commonly known as "The Tadpoles." It has been given that name due to the groups of gas and dust that remain from the cluster formation, and are probably forming new stars within them. These "tails" of tadpoles are caused by the radiation pressure and the solar wind of the stars that form the open cluster NGC 1893 that is within the nebula. You can see how these tails point in the opposite direction to the star cluster to the left of them.

This image has barely 5 hours and a half of integration time through hydrogen alpha and oxygen III filters. The subs were taken from my backyard with skies that suffer from a severe light pollution. I tried the HOO palette, but I got nasty blue halos around the bigger stars that were impossible to fix through processing.

Unfortunately I will not be able to add more data this year since the object is no longer available in the area where I image. I hope you like it.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
